A founding member of Portland, OR doom metal band Witch Mountain, Carson has stayed the course in the music scene for over two decades.

Nerd Talk with Trevor’s Head
As we embark on our eighth Nerd Talk column, I’m starting to see some commonalities. UK punks Trevor’s Head are the second band to mention Terry Pratchett as a favorite author — Pratchett is also enjoyed by TH’s countrymen in Oceans.

These dudes will be *howling* through the Northeast in mid-May — don’t miss the psychedelic trio’s cosmic riffage! Games Tom:… Continue reading Nerd Talk with Howling Giant

Minnesota stoner trio Let It Breathe takes over Nerd Talk this week, sharing their thoughts on the horror movies, video games, and artwork that has made a mark on them. They’ve got some pretty rad music on the ol’ bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’ download, so make sure you check it out. If these… Continue reading Horror, Games, and Art: Nerd Talk with Let It Breathe
